Answer:

It would be 126(B)

Explanation:

because the "equation" to solve this problem would be to multiply 56 and 45 then with that total divide by 20.

It's the mark- return-recapture method. Ecologists use it to calculate the estimated population of biodiversity

also I did the test and it was right!

A milk snake looks similar to the deadly coral snake. This is an example of A) warning coloration adaptive radiation B) cryptic
Damm [24]
In this case, c) mimicry is the answer. In Batesian mimicry in which harmless animals mimic toxic animals. In this case, I assume the milk snake is harmless and the coral snake is venomous. Since the milk snake has a trait similar to deadly coral snake, less animals would eat it thinking it is dangerous. Over time all the milk snake that look like the deadly coral snake would survive leading to evolution by natural selection. This would lead to more and more milk snake mimicking the resemblance of the deadly coral snake.

a) The deadly coral snake has a warning color adaptive radiation. If the question had described the environment and how the snaked adapted to the environment via warning coloration. This would've been correct.

b) cryptic coloration is more about camouflage with the environment. If the question had state how a certain feature help one of the animals blend into the background. This would've been correct.

d) I'm not sure whats different between this and a so i'll consider them both the same.

Jenny predicts that when water in a cup evaporates, the mass of the water and cup together will get smaller.
Elden [556K]

A.  Use a scale to measure the mass of a cup of water. Leave the cup out for one day and measure the mass again.

Explanation:

Jenny can predict is evaporation occurs by using a weighing scale to measure that mass of a cup of water, then he leaves the cup out for one day and he measures the mass again.

  • If the mass remains the same, then evaporation did not occur.
  • If evaporation occurs, then the mass will be lesser after the second measurement.
  • From this Jenny can infer the mass loss and made good deductions.
  • Evaporation is a phase change in which liquid turns to vapor.
